The sky2 driver attempts to clear PCI express errors on boot, but
the PCI subsystem sometimes won't let the sky2 driver write to PCI
express registers. It depends on the phase of the moon
and number of goats sacrificed (actually it probably is ACPI).
Until the PCI subsystem is fixed, this patch uses the device iomem
window to access the PCI-Express related registers.

patches 1-7 OK for upstream-fixes branch, but patch #1 failed to apply:
Applying 'sky2: pci express config register access'
fatal: corrupt patch at line 6
Due to the immature state of PCI MSI, particularly the knowledge of when
MSI-capable cards should not enable MSI for system-related reasons, I
think applying patch #8 during 2.6.16-rc would not be appropriate.
